combination of parts hereinafter described In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of oneform ofv our invention. Fig. 2 is an end View of a modified form. Fig. 8 is .a perspective view of a portion of the form of the invention shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the practical use of our display-rack in supporting a table.

In the form illustrated in Fig. 1, A indicates two vertical standards duly spaced a art and" having feet a extending horizontal y therefrom on one-to wit, the frontside thereof. Diagonal braces a" are arranged between and connect the standards with the feet, as shown.

played at different heights.

The upper ends of the standards are connected'by two horizontal bars B B, the two being separated by a considerable space. Each is secured to the standards bymeans of bolts, and the standards are provided with a series of holes arranged in vertical alinement, whereby provision is made for vertical adjustment of the bars, so that furniture may be dis- The top bar B is applied on the front side of the standards,

and the lower bar B is provided with end slots to receive the standards. The support proper for the furniture to be displayed is a right-angular bracket 0, the same being composedof horizontal and vertical bars connect- The top or horizontal bar of the bracket is provided. with a metal hook c, which extends beyond the vertical bar far enough to adapt it to catch over and engage the top bar, as shown. The lower end of the vertical bar of the bracket bears against the lower bar B, connecting the standards.

It is obvious that the brackets C may be adjusted horizontally along the bars B B, as conditions may require. r

In the form of apparatus shown in Figs. 2, 3 the standards A are provided with feet a extending in opposite directions horizontally, and there aretwo top bars B instead of one, as shown in Fig. 1. The twoto bars are arranged directly opposite each ot er; and thus a space is left between them for reception of the hooks of the bracket 0. The lower bar B is arrangedwith and attached to the standards A in the same manner as illustrated in Fi 1. I

It is obvious that what may be called the double form of the invention (shown in Figs. 2 and 3) cannot be placed against a wall in the same manner as the form shown in Fig.

. 1; but it is ada ted to su port and displa a table or a num er of tab es or other artic es on both sides. Both forms are easily portable and may be knocked down or their members detached from each other, so that they may be stored or transported in the most compact shape.

What we claim is The improved portable display-rack comrising vertical standards spaced apart and having horizontal feet forsupporting them, bars connecting their upper ends and spaced apart and adapted for vertical-adju'stmenton thestandards, and brackets having horizontal and vertical members, the former being provided at their inner ends with hooks adapted to engage the to bar, the horizontal members projecting aterally from said top bar to adapt them to support articles of names to this specification in the presence of furniturefl arlld the vertigal lnfenlilbeirs bearing two subscribing Witnesses.
